>>10479751>Jericho is a significantly better storytellerIn what sense? His own booking ideas? Sure I'll grant you that. But in the ring, Bret and Benoit were on an entirely different level when it comes to their dedication to work believable. Jericho was also very sloppy in WCW to the point that he was forced to clean it up when he came to WWF.
>Bret never drewVery few wrestlers in the history of the business were true draws aside from in a few regions. None of the people we are discussing fit that bill, but Bret is the closest because he was a big draw in Canada, the UK, and Europe, which was why Vince put the belt on him rather than Lex in 93 btw. The US economy wasn't doing so well, so throughout the mid 90s WWF stayed afloat with international tours, and Bret was one of the featured acts.
flies to shit there whereas jericho consistently was one of the biggest draws in the business because of his promo work & storylines that worked extremely well for TV (Goldberg feud, Malenko feud) he had nothing to work with and turned it into mega-dimes.
